Doctor's answer:

Ovulation day, which is the day the egg is released. Under normal menstrual conditions, a woman's ovulation period starts from the first day of her next menstrual period and counts backwards 14-16 days to determine the ovulation day. The 5 days before the ovulation day and the 4 days after it together form the ovulation period.
The ovulation period is when fertilization is most likely to occur. The easiest time to get pregnant is from the day before ovulation to the ovulation day itself. This primarily involves the release of a secondary oocyte, which is the egg cell. After the secondary oocyte enters the fallopian tube, it undergoes its second meiotic division in the fallopian tube. This division must occur after fertilization, specifically after the sperm nucleus enters the secondary oocyte. The result of this division is a viable large cell, which is the egg cell, as well as a polar body that cannot be fertilized.
A normally fertile woman has one menstrual period per month. The time from the start of the current menstrual period to the first day before the next menstrual period is called one menstrual cycle. From the perspective of contraception, a woman's monthly menstrual cycle can be divided into the menstrual period, the ovulation period, and the safe period. A woman's ovulation date is usually about 14 days before her next menstrual period. The 5 days before the ovulation day and the 4 days after it, including the ovulation day itself, make up a total of 10 days called the ovulation period. Typically, ovulation can be detected through methods such as ultrasound or an ovulation detection kit.
